Tramell Tillman and I are lost. Figuratively, in conversation, but literally, in the winding paths of the New York Botanical Garden, where the Severance actor manages to cut a figure both sharp and smooth. He’s dressed in a suede-and-shearling coat in a warm, deep brown, reminiscent of marshmallows melting into hot chocolate; a matching brown beanie; and a festive green-and-red scarf in a wide plaid pattern tied cozily over a butter-yellow sweater. This upper-body party is paired with a simple pair of light-wash blue jeans and clean but perfectly worn-in white Gilbert Crockett low-top Vans, their emerald-green stripes tying it all together. When we spot a large, stately building with a column-lined entrance, the gentlemanly actor holds the door for me before confidently approaching a lone security guard to ask for directions to the garden’s conservatory.
